Let's land and take some more on the ground.
Yaaaa sorry not gonna happen. Although it would be pretty cool.
It's absolutely amazing that we can see this. What a time great time to be alive!
BEHOLD! The Future!
God damn it feels like I've waited so long to see this!
Look at that giant outline of a heart though.
It used to be a perfect heart, but the heart was broken in 2006 when we said Pluto wasn't a planet anymore.
So much better than the one I posted just a few days ago.
Amazing whata few days can make.
This is freaking amazing! Good job humanity. I'm proud of us!
Yay! Now, let's send another one so we can get a picture of the other side in nine years!
Fun fact: New images coming within 24 hours - not immediately because the craft's antenna was being used to gather data while it flew by, instead of sending it.
